Icon4 I did it.. my first PP!
Hi friends, after much contemplation going back and forth between 5164A, 5168G and 5167R.. I finally took the plunge.. happy to share my first PP with everyone here. 😄

Thank you so much! I tried all 3 watches, I felt 5164a was a little dull looking for me although the complications were awesome.. 5168g looked great and stunning.. unfortunately might be a little too big for my wrist, a pity.. 5167r just felt right.. the brown, the size and simply the gorgeous, classy look to it.. it complements my other steel Rolex collection too (Pepsi and panda). That’s how I finally decided 😊

I think you made a great choice.

Was this through a PP AD, or secondary market dealer?

What a bangin' watch. I'm not really a RG fan, but it totally works on this piece. Well done, OP.

wow great shots! I agree the 5168 would look too big, as it would on my wrist as well. I find the proportions on the 5167 to be the best for smaller wrists like mine, wear it in good health!
